Creston Community Info: Nestled in the peaceful, secluded Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina is a private, 1,110 acre, environmentally sensitive community that awaits you. Encircled by pristine hardwood forests that are home to a rich diversity of native flora and fauna, our environmentally sensitive homesites and conservation easements provide peace, quietude, and beauty with minimum impact to the natural splendor our residents cherish.
The Creston Community believes that quality of life and natural splendor go hand-in-hand. We share an ethic of preserving the natural heritage of the mountains. Our vision for Creston Community was inspired by shared ideals of conservation, responsibility, and environmental sensitivity. For this reason, Creston Community has partnered with the Foothills Conservancy of North Carolina to establish conservation easements that ensure that the natural heritage our residents cherish and enjoy is forever protected.
As a member of the Creston Community, you can live comfortably in two worlds. Creston's mountain homesites provide solitude and privacy. Conservation easements ensure your spectacular mountain views, pristine woodlands, rushing streams and waterfalls are forever protected. Of Creston's 1110 acres, 550 acres are shared community space, with amenities that include hiking trails that wind through hardwood forests adjoining Pisgah National Forest. Creston Park and Community Center provide an ideal space for socializing with other Creston Community members.
The beauty of living in the Creston Community is that you won't need to give up urban amenities: the cultural meccas of Asheville, NC and Black Mountain, NC are within a short drive. The roads within Creston Mountain Community have been carefully designed to minimize traffic; you will find no thoroughfares, only less traveled roads ending in cul-de-sacs.
